Xbox Series S: Real SSD Capacity Revealed

Xbox Series S: Real SSD Capacity Revealed

In Canada they must have the modified calendar, because a user has already received the Xbox Series S that they reserved a few weeks ago. Everything would be in order if it weren’t for the fact that there is still a week to go before the console officially hits store shelves, so we are facing a lucky man who has not hesitated to share his surprise with the world.

How many games can be installed on Xbox Series S?

Taking into account that Microsoft‘s smallest console does not have a Blu-ray player, one of the questions that users are asking the most is how many games they can install on their internal storage. Remember that the SSD unit included in the console is 500 GB, however, the system files occupy a good part of the storage, so the real capacity is not such.

Fortunately, thanks to the fact that this user has already received the console, many are taking advantage of the situation to ask him several questions about the system and thus put an end to the unknowns that are on the table. For example, the free space left on the SSD, which, according to our protagonist, is finally 364 GB.

That will be the capacity that we will have available when the console goes on sale next November 10, so you will have to do the math and decide how many games you want to have installed on it. Remember that Xbox One games can be stored on an external USB 3.0 disk, but to enjoy the new loading times and new generation games, we will have to use the SSD or the special memory card that is sold separately. .

For example, spead20 installed The Witcher 3 (41 GB), Halo 5 (97 GB) and The Outer Worlds (52 GB), so doing a quick account we could guess that they would have between 1 and 3 games left to install depending on the size thereof. However, we still have to know the disk size that some new generation games will have, not to mention titans like Call of Duty , which with campaign, multiplayer and Warzone modes usually exceed 150 GB of disk space.

The Xbox Series X is also shipping

As if that were not enough, it seems that a user from Portugal has also received a gift in advance, since his Xbox Series X has been planted at home by surprise. On this occasion, the event is even more surprising, since supposedly the reservation of the console was made through Microsoft’s website, so we would be talking about a distribution error by Microsoft itself.

We only have 6 days left to be able to make the leap to the new generation, and seeing this type of surprises only makes us more nervous in order to take the new control with our hands. Doesn’t the same thing happen to you?
